The Human Rights Act certainly needs repealing and for the record a lot of lawyers (I'll hopefully be one soon) actually agree with you on that.

 

Not that it has much at all to do with what we're discussing in here, or Britain's place in the EU which has even less relevance here.

 

Not quite right there - it is a requirement of EU membership that a country becomes a signatory of the ECHR...which, although slightly different, would still be used by Human Rights lawyers to enforce legislation similar to that which affected Mick's firm. Therefore it IS relevant to this discussion because on the face of it, the UK would have to leave the EU if it refused to comply....I bet they would soon back down if the UK called their bluff, though....

There's absolutely no way we'd be required to leave the EU if we repealed the Act and reverted to the domestic legislation, which is perfectly fine. As you say, they'd back down.

This knacker still here then?

 

Probably in cahoots with a bright IT sparky, feverishly working on a new code/format (for all the accompanying stats & spreadsheets) - just in time for his opening address at summer training camp.

An almost groundless rumour to pass on:

 

My dad was talking to someone from one of the local papers in the pub last night (he didn't say who) and he reckoned Pardew is on his way out with Poyet lined up as replacement.

 

He said that Pardew has not been prepared to make an official comment on anything for 4 weeks now, which is very unlike him (he has been a bit quiet recently). Possibly the actions of a man who knows his days are numbered.

it does seem extremely weird. We seem to be selling players, making plans and Pardew is nowhere to be found and has made one statement sine JFK came in

 

A one sentence statement, at that.

Exactly. Fuck knows what's going on at the moment. Farcical doesn't even cover it.

 

Same last summer after the club didn't sign anyone wasn't it?

We should lock the thread at 443 then we'll have an extra player. Might win some.

He has been very quiet like. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he's taken legal advice on his position since JFK turned up, chance to walk away with a decent wedge and having not been sacked would be tempting.
